Equation of line parallel to y = -0.75x that passes through (8,0) is: y = -0.75x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

$y=-0.75x$

The coefficient of x is the slope of the line so the slope of given line is: -0.75

As parallel lines have equal slopes so the required equation of line will have the same slope.

The slope-intercept form is:

$y = mx+b$

Putting the value of the slope

$y = -0.75x+b$

To find the value of b, putting the point in the equation

$0 = -0.75(8)+b\\0 = -6+b\\b = 6$

Putting the values of m and b, we get

$y = -0.75x-6$

Hence,

Equation of line parallel to y = -0.75x that passes through (8,0) is: y = -0.75x-6

Transform the given quadratic function into vertex form f(x) = quadratic function into vertex form f(x) = quadratic function int

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$f(x) = 3(x -\frac{2}{3})^2 -\frac{22}{3}$

The vertex is $(\frac{2}{3}, -\frac{22}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

For a general quadratic function the form is:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c$

For the function

$f(x) = 3x ^ 2 -4x -6$

Take common factor 3.

$f(x) = 3(x ^ 2 -\frac{4}{3}x - 2)$

The values of the coefficients for the function within the parenthesis are the following: $a = 1$ , $b = -\frac{4}{3}$ , $c = -2$

Take the value of b and divide it by 2. Then, the result obtained squares it.

$\frac{b}{2}= -\frac{2}{3}$

$(\frac{b}{2})^2=\frac{4}{9}$

Add and subtract $\frac{4}{9}$

$f(x) = 3([x ^ 2 -\frac{4}{3}x +\frac{4}{9}]- 2-\frac{4}{9})$

Write the expression of the form

$f(x) = (x-\frac{b}{2})^2 +k$

$f(x) = 3(x -\frac{2}{3})^2 -\frac{22}{3}$

The vertex is $(\frac{2}{3}, -\frac{22}{3})$

Let X be a random day of the week, coded so that Monday is 1, Tuesday is 2, etc. (so X takes values 1, 2,..., 7, with equal prob

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Yes. Have the same distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X is a random day of the week, coded so that Monday is 1, Tuesday is 2, etc. (so X takes values 1, 2,..., 7, with equal probabilities).

Y is the next day after X

So Y can be written as X+1

But since highest value is 7, we can write

Y = X+1 mod 7

i.e. whenever X=7, Y= 8= 1 again.

Thus Y can take values as

Y 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

P(Y) = P(X+1) = 1/7

i.e. Y also has the same distribution as X
